Then and Now: The Definitive Herbie Hancock, an essential
collection of tracks from multi-Grammy Award-winning
artist Herbie Hancock, will be released September 23rd on
Verve Records. A first-ever career retrospective of the
jazz visionary's unparalleled work, the 12-track CD
chronicles five decades, featuring music spanning
Hancock's illustrious career from Blue Note, Warner
Brothers and Sony, to his present days with Verve. The
only truly comprehensive collection of Hancock's work
covers the genre-stretching musician's expansive
repertoire, from his best-known solo works including
ôMaiden Voyage" and ôRockit" to his collaborations with
artists such as Stevie Wonder, Damien Rice, and Corinne
Bailey Rae, including a previously unreleased live
version of ôRiver" featuring Joni Mitchell, the title
track of his 2008 Grammy Album of the Year.
ôFrom avant-garde to Gershwin, post-bop to pop standards,
electric jazz to electro-funk, Herbie Hancock has been at
the forefront of modern music for five decades, ô
explains writer Kirk Degiorgio in the CD's engaging liner
notes. Few artists in the music industry have gained more
respect and cast more influence than Herbie Hancock.
Beginning his incomparable career as a sideman in the
Miles Davis Quintet, Hancock achieved a career milestone
in 2008, winning two Grammy Awards including the main
prize, Album of the Year for 'River: The Joni Letters'
(Verve Records), the first time a jazz record had won
Album of the Year since 1964. Hancock was also named to
the Time 100, Time magazine's annual list of the most
influential people in the world.
